Went to a private spot last nite and there was a good swell running - which called for caution.

This particular spot calls for more than a little respect because you're only gonna get one 'Ooops' The rocks are pretty jagged even by Rhody standards and barnacle-covered - ya don't wanna have to find yourself trying to clamber back up if you wipe out, that's for sure.....but man, it was real bass-y water there...

Anyway, didn't knock 'em dead, no wall-hangers, but We did get into fish, mostly smaller. The water was pretty murky - a combination of run-off from the rain and the swell. Fortunately not a lot of weed - and the swell diminished slightly with the outgoing. Habs olive over white needlefish were the ONLY ticket last nite, btw...we tried everything else.

There's still a good swell going, be very careful - wind's gonna clock around to SW tomorrow - that's a good thing

Bring eels - AND korkers wherever ya go - and be careful in the dark if you're out after sundown and not familiar with the rocks you're on.

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
